Re: Great error messages

oh and i have stuff happen to me like that, using a serial cable to connect to a UPS, connect the serial cable to the UPS, connect it to the server, server shuts off.... wth?

one of the guys at work was fixing someone's laptop, it was in windows, and the screensaver was on, he presses space and the box blue screens...

installing Vista on my friend's laptop for fun, first boot, the thing comes to a loading screen and blue screens.

installing XP in vmware, first boot and the thing blue screens right before the login screen comes on

one of my dad's friends laptop would get to loading screen and then reboot... the process continues until you really physically shut off the laptop (pull the battery or press on for like 20 seconds)

old lady asks me to fix her system, i'm like what is the problem? it doesn't boot, ok, i boot it and it says "please try removing the floppy and boot again" i press on the button to eject the floppy and turn it on.... i was like, did you read the instructions?

network problems, is your switch plugged in? --Duuh...

-one of my friends- I have no sound on my laptop!
I know it works, have you tried turning the volume up?

here is a good one, comes from the guy who fixes hardware and images (ghosts) machines for our company (he dont know squat)
>well i gotta make another image for this laptop too now
why, the only difference is that this one has a centrino proc and that one is a P mobile
>well, you know, i gotta install the drivers for the processor
(i shake my head and walk away)

the same guy spends a day troubleshooting a network that had 2 dhcp servers serving ips, in the same range, with no communication between the two...

Presentation at HOPE this year, this guy explains how he reverse engineered the driver for the $30 digital video camera. End of a presentation, he mentions something about some PHP page something, someone stands up and asks "Excuse me, what is PHP?"

i dunno i have more... to tired to remeber...
